Let S be a nonempty set of real numbers that is bounded above, and let Beta be the least upper bound of S. Prove that for every Epsilon greater than 0, there exists an element x such that x is greater than Beta minus Epsilon.

Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thanks.

If is a least upper bound then cannot be an upper bound on the set if . Why?
